Post-rehearsal reflection: The Kaoss Pad KP3+ is the greatest musical instrument ever created!!! Sounds amazing, well… if weird digital artefacts are your thing, and it’s so much fun to play!!!! I love it so much!!!!

Rehearsing my set for Vaporwave Pop Up Shop and I’ve finally found that sweet spot between knowing what to do and the set being wild enough that it continually threatens to run away with me. After weeks of feeling bad, it finally feels good!!

🚨 EVENT ALERT 🚨 Our friends down under have a live vaporwave event on the horizon - April 5th at 4:20 local time in Melbourne! Come see @bluescreensg.bsky.social @doktorb.bsky.social @dark5lalom.bsky.social @daydream-deluxe.bsky.social and others at the Pop Up Shop!

listen back to my live set from Thursday on the @chewingwater.bsky.social @datafruits.bsky.social archives, in between excellent DJ sets of dnb & hip hop from @rbxbx.computer.gay and @neondoom.bsky.social. this whole show was ON, lots of fun to join in 🦥🍎🔊 datafruits.fm/shows/chewin...

Not sure how many Australian people follow me but I’m playing a real life, live set in actual meatspace in about a month. I’ve been really scared to post this because it’s been so long since I played live live I’m worried I’ll embarrass myself. events.humanitix.com/vaporwave-po...

So good to see that @dbapplegate.bsky.social hasn’t stopped stopping!!!!

I can’t believe this came out more than a year ago!! I love the art that @trashpandaqc.bsky.social put together for this project, their aesthetic is wonderful, equal parts hyper digital glitch and humanly handmade!

@doktorb.bsky.social & i do a sick VS set notice everyone else is b2b?? we VS theres a MAGENTA VS DOKTORB II set in the archives too :}

I've been quiet on the music-making front because I'm trying something new that has made me realise how all the time I spent hanging around in self-indulgent improv and noise scenes gave me a lot of very bad habits that make it near impossible to do simple things in a precise and disciplined way

And that's #hooptober 11 done and dusted. This year was an absolute blast!!!!!!!!

Watched Craven's Deadly Friendly this weekend for #hooptober and I've gotta say, if studio meddling can produce an extreme gore meets Batteries Not Included-style family movie hybrid about a necro cyborg love affair, then maybe studios should meddle more

I am confused by all the <1 star reviews for The Mangler 2: Graduation Day on Letterboxd which read like people were expected something more. Who with a working knowledge of the first movie would willingly watch this nonsense and be surprised that it's gloriously crap? #hooptober

One of the best things about #hooptober is that it fills in gaps in my genre movie education because each year the curation rules expose me to things I probably wouldn't think to explore on my own. Here's looking at you Race with the Devil (1975) and Planet of the Vampires (1965)

Another #hooptober thought, the real monster in The Faculty was Josh Hartnett's haircut!

The real horror of Tobe Hooper's 1979 telemovie adaptation of Salem's Lot is how arduously long and soulcrushingly boring it is. I've re-watched it a couple of times because I keep deluding myself into thinking that I missed something that will make it as awesome as I want it to be #hooptober

Every #hooptober we make new incredible discoveries, the first gem to be dug up this year is La Huesera. I'm speechless... such an emotional journey, wow... I am going to be thinking about this movie for a long long time the come

Watched my first two #hooptober movies yesterday. Psycho and Psycho II (we'll be watching the whole franchise). This might be cinema snob sacrilege but I want to go on record saying that 2 kicks Hitchcock's ass. I love the original movie but this sequel is on a whole new level!!!!

I simply must get my #hooptober list up on Letterboxd tonight!!

Just started Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and I'm loving the cyberpunk-adjacent vibe that keeps the noir but swaps out hacking for vampires - is this vampirepunk? Also cool how vampires are used as a device to explore different forms of colonisation in Mexico #horrorlit

thickly painted walls : older works (music_paths_094) over 2 hours of lo-fi, CD-R era noise rock from a prolific underrated artist. tpw later did some (electronic) noise and messed with vaporwave as well, but these tracks are date back to the early 2000's youtu.be/XPX_6_52MY8?...

Just finished reading Our Wives Under The Sea and it blew me away. I've never read anything quite like it! *kinda* in the same vein as Vandermeer but uses the cosmic body horror elements in a really gentle way to explore emotional connection. I'm going to be thinking about this for days #horrorlit

Petr Válek (a.k.a. the VAPE) creates noise, and machines that create noise. youtu.be/HP3GqU2gA9c

In other news I'm going to do #Hooptober again this year. I've finished curating my list but, being a nerd, it's in a spreadsheet that I have to transfer onto my Letterboxd. When I'm done I'll share a link for anyone who's interested.

Random tarot thoughts: Whilst traditional new age resources are too rooted in self-actualising individualist libertarianism, many modern resources that deconstruct tarot on queer or radical lines are too rooted in the idea that something is significantly wrong that needs to be repaired

posting was way easier when I knew myself as just another internet music guy, but now I've got all these urges to scream into the void about how frustrating it is to barrack for the Carlton Football Club or wax lyrical about my special feelings towards the lovers and 8 of Cups

Part of why I stopped posting since exiting Twitter is because logging off inspired all these incompatible offline interests that I got very obsessive about like tarot and Australian Rules football. So I lost any sense of what to talk about or who I would be talking to and it made me self conscious

Lived out a childhood dream last night, seeing A Nightmare on Elm Street in an actual cinema on Friday 13th.

DOIN A SHOW FIRST ONE IN TEN YEARS OMG www.eventbrite.com.au/e/melbourne-...

First Soundcloud upload for 2024 is a mushing together of Leonard Cohen and The Slits (a mush-up?) to create something that cannot be recognised as adjacent either artist. If this skeet is an attempt to promote my music I am doing a terrible job :) soundcloud.com/doktorb-1/on...

It's taken a little while but I finally have my head & heart back into music-making!! Working on longer format tracks that emphasise repetition to counter that anxious short attention span voice in my head which tells me everything is boring if I let a part repeat even once
